Abstract

To investigate the anti diabetic and anti Hyperlipidemic activity of methanol extract of Desmostachya Bippinnata in male Wistar rats.
Material & method: - In this model of Hyperlipidemia,30 adult male wistar rats (150-200gms) were evenly divided into 5 groups in both groups. Group-1 and Group-2 served as untreated and model controls respectively, while Group-3, 4 and 5 were the treatments groups which were simultaneously treated with standard, 200 and 400 mg/kg extract respectively along with High Fat Diet and Triton x 100. On last day, blood samples for biochemical parameters, were obtained under inhaled diether anaesthesia.
In the model of anti diabetic animals were evenly divided into 5 groups
Group-1 and Group-2 served as untreated and model controls respectively, while Group-3, 4 and 5 were the treatments groups which were simultaneously treated with standard, 200 and 400 mg/kg extract respectively after glucose loading.

Keywords
